Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

I see/work on lots o cars, most are new'r and things go smooth then you have these mixmatched cars with things looking a little off.
And as soon as I get some POS in there, I know its going to be a long day

I guess when I was young and poor, I did silly things like that too but hated every minute of it. I just put a body kit on this 96 sunfirybird thing 4 cyl working on 3.. sounds like .... aaa horrible! Said he didnt want that fixed though..

It doesnt even look like the same car, oh and he has one of those can mufflers
....it sounds like its farting

There's an upsetting g/a at my job... some guy who works at the hotel owns it.. It's a Red 96-98 G/a SE, with a 3 GT rims, 1 pop on spinner hubcap, a cambells soup can exhaust.. that is crooked, so that it's not in the groove where the exhaust goes but to the right close to the license plate and yes it's up against the bumper... Actually thinking about there's a similiar G/P there like that, with miss matching rims, a hood thats dented in the most odd place, and the front bumper that looks like someone cut part of it off... Hmmm. Well I guess it's good to know i own the best Pontiac at my job! YAY!
PM me and I'll show you the pic of the wannabe ricer GA in my neighborhood. Not posting on public forums for fear of this person recognizing i took a pic of his car and going after mine lol

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

I wish the 99+ wings did not have those two bumps that stick up. SHould have been smooth all the way acrossed IMO.

No need for wings that big unless youre driving 100+mph on a race track ....... kids.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

so I got my injectors (3 & 4) replaced.. I know I should of done all of them but I dont have the money... I havent yet checked the spark plugs and i'm pretty sure my wires are not the problem.. BUT

I'm still havin some misfiring... cant even get it over 60mph, not sure what cycl.... is there any injector controller sort of piece?

my engine light is on, but I already know its random misfire...

I might ask my dad to see if he can help me out... I seem to be in a gutter right now, no money, owe the bank overcharge fees, no car, no job... Hmm

I think tomorrow Ima try and check the plugs, see if everything looks good... XI, opinion on E3 spark plugs?

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Gir check all those injector wires, and make sure that the ground straps are tight. THe injector wires can get small cracks which short and cause simular issues.
Same with all the wires around the intake, gets mighty hott in there.
